You can also drop off donations at the cold weather shelters, anything from coffee, creamer and plastic utensils to warm clothes like jackets, scarves and gloves. You can even drop off toiletries people may need.

“Not everybody has the opportunity to be warm so its a small thing if you have extra items at home to you know do what you can to help out those in need so just it’s been on my heart to do that,” Kenneth Evans said.

People, including pet owners, who need transportation to a cold weather shelter should call the Hillsborough County Sunshine Line at (813) 272-7272 between 5:30 and 8 p.m. to arrange a ride. This is recommended if you are stranded in the cold weather or live in a home without heat, but cannot get to a shelter.
